ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news on Friday as the Rams head coach will renew his contract on better terms after leading them to Super Bowl LVI victory.

Sean McVay makes headlines for new Rams contract
The Rams’ Super Bowl-winning head coach is pending an $8.5 million salary increase. While Amazon would have allowed him to explore new things, he walked away with a considerable amount of money.

The 2022 NFL champion will be a focal point throughout the coming season, as he promised by winning a second straight Super Bowl title.
This will be a bigger challenge as teams in their division and elsewhere will improve their squads with off-season acquisitions.
While it’s important to note that he’ll earn far less than his Amazon contract, the tag of being a champion 2 might be worth his time. McVay hopes to return next season if things haven’t gone well, as he was due to get married this year. It was the goal of McVay and his franchises to prove they were a good team, but winning the Super Bowl twice would be something special.
